Diona turned around in mid-air and stuck out her tongue at the werewolf youth: "I'm not going to tell you, baka, baka——"
With a long and mocking voice, the werewolf was also furious and pulled up the Kinsect, chasing in the direction of the Amazon girl. Seeing this, Diona exclaimed, and took Ai Si with her, like Don Quixote who had snatched the princess from the monster's lair with a trick, riding on a donkey, shouting and escaping from the monster's pursuit and claws.
"So energetic——"
Finn, who looked only twelve years old but was actually a man in his forties, tapped his shoulder with the spear in his hand and raised his lips in pleasure.
"But I didn't expect that not only Diona, but even Bert can use the Kinsect skillfully." Livilia sighed.
"Of course. After all, he didn't sleep at all last night. He was practicing the techniques of using the Kinsect. He even developed a special move with the Kinsect." Finn closed one eye and revealed the werewolf's little secret with a slightly bad intention.
"……How did you know?"
"Haha, I accidentally saw it while working overtime. You can't blame me~~"
"...I think it's better not to let Bert know about this..." Livilia was silent for a moment, then sighed.
If that guy knew about this, he would definitely get angry and make a scene. After all, that's the kind of person he is. However...
"Are you working overtime too? Or are you also like Bert, staying up all night to study how to use the Kinsect?"
Livilia's eyes fell on the leader of the clan, but unfortunately, she could not see any signs of staying up late from Finn.
However, this is inevitable. After all, high-level adventurers who have improved their abilities to extremely high levels will not be affected mentally even if they go without sleep for several days and nights. There will be no flaws at all in just one night.
"What, what's the answer~~" Finn laughed and didn't answer Livilia's question.
The elven royal family was furious, but they could do nothing about Finn who remained silent. They could only poke Finn's back with their wands to express their dissatisfaction.
The vanguard marched very fast.
Even though Diona, Ais and Bert were not doing their job and were playing the chasing game, the remaining high-level fighters were not slow in clearing all the monsters on the way forward. By the way, they destroyed the walls and the ground of the maze at regular intervals, leaving marks of the direction of advance.
This is a countermeasure to the fact that dungeons breed monsters.
Monsters in the dungeon will be born from the walls of the maze, but if the maze is in a damaged state, the maze will prioritize repairing itself and temporarily stop breeding monsters.
"Kingsobs are really useful."
During the interval of the battle, the black-haired cat-man put down his weapon slightly and looked at Raul who was trying to integrate the Kinsect into his own fighting style.
"Ah."
Raul nodded seriously, and meticulously equipped himself with a gorgeous one-handed sword and a small round shield.
Like the others, he also practiced the use of Kinsect all night.
However, his talent was not as good as others. Although he also trained for a whole night, he still could not train to the point where he could do it as easily as his own arm.
He could only use Kinsect to move at a half-beat slower speed when he consciously thought of it.
This is not okay.
Raul whispered to himself.
Among all the people who hunted cattle with Lieyan, he had spent the longest time with Lieyan, so after witnessing Lieyan's control over the Kinsect with his own eyes, he set high standards for himself.
Let’s train again.
Raul stroked the special box on his forearm and continued to fight.
Chapter 37, Flame Dumpling: I’ve made it!
Time flies by.
In a blink of an eye, the two teams of Loki's family had crossed more than ten floors of the dungeon and met on the eighteenth floor, the first safe floor in the dungeon that would not actively produce monsters.
From here on, the dungeon becomes much larger and the enemies become more dangerous.
Under the premise that marching is not restricted, in order to ensure the survival of everyone, from here on, the Loki clan will change their original strategy of splitting into two groups, one in front and one behind, and reintegrate into one team to head to the final base of the large army.
It is the deepest safe floor known so far, the forefront of dungeon strategy, and the gray forest sleeping deep beneath the earth - the 50th floor.
However, it is too early to say this now, because the merged team is currently taking their final rest before the assault to the 50th floor.
After resting, they will continue to move forward and reach their destination without stopping.
A short busy period began. The members of the logistics team took out the cooking equipment from their huge luggage, used local ingredients, and started to get busy with the ingredients brought from the ground.
The aroma of the thick soup simmering in the big pot gradually wafts into the air, and when the timing is right, the cooking team members put the chopped dried meat into the pot and cook together, making it taste even better.
Aisi's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the cauldron with white steam floating up from it, but after gently stroking her lower abdomen, she resisted the temptation of the food with a firm will.
She firmly believed that consuming excessive meals would affect her combat condition, so when she was in the dungeon, she usually only filled her stomach with the dry food she carried with her.
However, just as she was about to sneak to a corner she frequented as usual and nibble on some dry food like a squirrel,
Obstacles came.
Looking at the beautiful elf holding the fragrant wooden bowl in front of her, Ai Si said silently in her heart.
"Come and eat something, Ais."
The kind tone of persuasion seemed to drag Ais's mind into the abyss and make her sink into the beauty.
Aisi looked at Livilia warily, silently,
Took half a step back.
Took half a step back!
A dark line visibly appeared on Livilia's pretty face.
I just want you to eat something. Do you have to warn me like you would warn a monster? If there were other people behind you, would you have to retreat behind them?
"Hahaha, Livilia, this is not the first day you've known that Ais would be like this. Haven't you given up yet?"
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from behind the two people who were confronting each other. Grace, wearing heavy armor, appeared with a laugh, interrupting the awkward atmosphere between Livilia and Ais.
"Grace, how come even you..." The beautiful elf turned helplessly to look at the majestic dwarf walking behind her, and cast a complaining look at the old colleague who had worked with her for many years but did not stand on her side to speak.
"After all, even if I persuade her together, Ais won't change her mind. You should have known this a long time ago."
"Grace!"
"Hahaha, don't worry. I'm not here to ruin your plan. Someone asked me to give this thing to Aisi if she doesn't eat well during the expedition."
The dwarf laughed loudly and took out an item wrapped in green leaves from his waist bag.
"This is……"
"Dumplings from Flame Village?"
Livilia and Ais's eyes fell on the green leaf package in Grace's hand at the same time.
"Yes, the Flame Dango Set consists of simple red bean filling dango, defensive chestnut dango that can increase defense a bit, and steamed dango in medicinal soup that increases the effect of recovery medicine. It was something that Lieyan gave to me specially."
Grace nodded, his expression solemn. It was as if what he was holding in his hand was not a fire ball, but a weapon to kill monsters.
"Goo-"
Hearing the sound, Aisi's stomach made a pigeon sound.
Well, the ball in Grace's hand can indeed kill monsters, but the monsters it kills are the hungry monsters in Ais's stomach (sure).
Took the bait.
Seeing Ais's face blushing like a doll's, lowering her head as if ashamed, Livilia and Grace looked at each other and smiled.
Red bean dumplings are Aisi's favorite flavor, and Aisi will definitely not refuse the effects of defense dumplings and medicine dumplings.
This is truly a treasure against Ais.
It’s really amazing that Lieyan could come up with this idea.
"Eat, eat, eat first and then talk."
Without further ado, Grace stuffed the green leaf package in his hand into Ai Si's hand, then waved his hand and wanted to turn around and leave, but Livilia stopped him and whispered:
"Do you still have this dumpling?"
"Uh, no more." Grace was slightly stunned: "There is only this one, and Lieyan asked me to bring it..."
"Then have you ever thought about what will happen to Ai Si after she eats this meal?" Livilia rubbed her brows with a headache, "Those dumplings are just one portion."
"Seems to be?"
"So, why don't you buy more?" Looking at Ai Si who was already eating the dumplings happily, Livilia gritted her teeth.
She felt a little angry when she thought that Ai Si would have to eat the dry food she brought with her after reaching the deep layer.
"I'm out of money." Grace spread his hands and said, "The branch's funds were all taken out before this expedition. Most of it was used to build equipment for us, and the rest was exchanged for recovery medicine and antidote.
This dumpling costs 200z, and a bottle of recovery medicine costs 66z. One dumpling can buy three bottles of recovery medicine. What do you think I should choose? "
Livilia: "..."
She was speechless at this reason. If it was personal assets, it would be fine, but for the family assets, she really couldn't bring herself to cut down on the recovery medicine and satisfy her appetite... Although no one would care even if she did such a thing,
But this is a matter of principle.
She is the leader of the clan and must lead by example.
However, if it is personal assets... then there is no problem.
"It seems that I have to go to Lieyan when I have time..." Livilia let out a breath and made a decision in her heart.
By the way, speaking of flames,
He had asked her to pass on a message to Ai Si before. Livilia was sweating, thinking that she almost forgot about it. Thinking of this, she hurriedly said:
"By the way, Aisi, speaking of Lieyan, he asked me to tell you something before."
"What?" Aisi raised her head, her cheeks puffed up like a squirrel filled with food.
"He said, 'If the rabbit runs away, don't hesitate to chase it.'"
Chapter 38: The Overlord Arrives!
"Rabbit? Do you mean the unicorn?"
Aisi stopped chewing and tilted her head in confusion.
The unicorn rabbit is a small monster that appears in the middle layer. As its name suggests, it has a single horn on its head, white fur and red eyes. It is about the height of a Finn and can use a small stone axe as a weapon.
